Bhaal is the God of Murder, a member of the Dead Three and the progenitor of all Bhaalspawn who are his children. He is associated with the domain of Death. Bhaal cannot be the deity of a player Cleric.
His worshippers in Baldur's Gate 3, the Cult of Bhaal also play a prominent role in Act Three.

Chapter Three
Spoiler warning! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.
Act 3 Spoilers! This section reveals interactions with The Dark Urge.
After Orin is defeated, Sceleritas Fel will inform the Dark Urge that Bhaal is coming. Several blades will appear from Sceleritas's body, seeming to stab through him. Within the reflection of his blood is the Avatar of Bhaal, who appears identical to Sceleritas, albeit with glowing red eyes, and a deep, imposing voice. The Avatar will offer the Dark Urge to become their Chosen, whether they have been resisting or indulging their urge up to this point.
Should the player accept, the Avatar will grant the player the Slayer form if they did not previously have it, and will allow for the player to pursue controlling the Absolute in the name of Bhaal.
Should the player refuse, the Avatar will drain the essence of Bhaal from the Dark Urge, killing them, before they are ultimately resurrected by Withers, free of the Dark Urge forever, ending The Urge.Related Literature
